[OOC] Pokémon: Start

[Delta44]

@PlatinumSkink Welp, I already had plans on making Ren incredibly anti-social XD

[PlatinumSkink]

@Delta44 Yeah, but I kind of hoped somebody would be breaching through that. XD

Well. All in due time. There'll be plenty of opportunities in the future.

[Delta44]

@PlatinumSkink After all, character development happens over time ^-^

[Eklispe]

Dawkins will probably once some more posting happens. Just didn't seem in character to start it that way :<

[PlatinumSkink]

@Delta44 Indeed.

@Eklispe Teh-heh. Staying in-character takes priority. No need to make sad expressions, don't worry about it. As said, all in due time.

[Keyblade87]

welp posting at 6am is not my best idea but it may be my only chance today.

[PlatinumSkink]

@Keyblade87 It'll do~ XD

Alright, so you simply returned the wide greetings by giving a wide introduction in turn. That works. Heh.

[Delta44]

Felt like making another post just coz I wanted to quickly get Ren's hunger pangs outta the way :D As you can see it has been brought back down considerably. I need to force myself not to write too much XD

[PlatinumSkink]

@Delta44 I'd like to note, I'm not going to punish you all if you played like the games, where you never eat at all and you can travel all the time and never sleep as well as could move through any terrain without changing attire. Haha. But, yeah, those faults of our bodies are part of what makes us human. So good on you for being human. Well posted. XD

@Pyromaniacwolf Yupp. Nicely communicated. That does the job. The rest of you note, if we're to have quick conversations in the future, these kinds of posts would make things a LOT easier. XD

@Pink Madness Alright. So you've been... standing there since before 8. Alright. That pretty much means you've been standing there while all the rest started their interactions and arrivals, minus those that arrived even earlier. VERY WELL, THEN. XD

Nicely posted, the lot of you. Feel free to keep communicating with each other if you wish. I'll have one little event first, and then...

[Delta44]

@PlatinumSkink Eh, I like the human aspect of things ;) though maybe I'll keep the same attire.

[PlatinumSkink]

@Delta44 Noted, just wanted to make the point.

@Pirouette ... Teh-heh. Alright, Ren has been reached out to for the initial reaction, this satisfies me. Now it's just up to her to react, and then there's just two more that haven't had any interactions with other characters yet. In any case. Nicely posted.

Though, well, it probably wasn't @Keyblade87's intention to ignore you. If we're talking about people who have been ignored, then @Lasrever and @Pikmin Eye both gave general greetings to everyone that went completely ignored EXCEPT for by @Keyblade87, who gave a general greeting back to everyone, and I think that might have been intended to include you. Haha.

In other news...

Oh, hey. Strange guy who definitely without a doubt has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the plot. Do ignore him and carry on your interactions until Kalmia actually gets out of bed. I'm not opening the door until everyone has either reached out to someone or been reached out to unless people argue for why someone/some people absolutely won't talk to one another and won't be talked to in-character. Haha.

Random Color Thoughts

Hm. Lots of people who talk in red. Made me wonder if I should have made this guy talk in a different color...

But EH! He's like, one of EXTREMELY FEW NPCs with actual red in their image, and all of your colors will be doubled eventually! IT'LL PASS FOR NOW! XD

And another thing

"Can be ignored" as stated in the post does not mean "has to be ignored". XD

[SmileyJaws]

Room for one more?
(:

(Here we are just in case).

Andreas

"Everyone will know my name!"


Age: Sixteen
Gender: Boy
Personality: Intelligent and reserved, Andreas is a good listener but a relatively quiet person. An introvert when younger; catching, training and battling Pokémon brought him out of his shell and taught him people skills. Andreas is most comfortable in silence and while he has a strong exterior is often brought down by his thoughts of inferiority and failure. Kind but firm, Andreas is no pushover as person or a trainer but is fair and understanding. A private bookworm, when alone he enjoys the company of his Pokémon and a good book although doesn't find as much time for it as he'd like. Andreas is ambitious and loyal and even on the road to achieving his own goals often puts others needs before his regardless of consequences.
Hometown: Bigfjord City
Background: A city boy born and raised, Andreas finds solace in the hustle and bustle of city life. Andreas was raised by a single mother during his childhood, his father had left with aspirations of becoming a Pokémon Master and never returned. Andreas doesn't find himself feeling bitter to his Father, instead he prefers to think that there was good reason for his abandonment and perhaps if not lost or dead, his Father achieved his dream and is looking for the family he left behind. Pokémon had always been a fascination of Andreas', his uncle a Pokémon Daycare owner is responsible for Andreas' introduction into the World of Pokémon and taught him much of what he now knows today about the creatures.

A trouble maker in adolescent years, especially around when Puberty hit, Andreas seemed to keep falling in with the wrong crowd. His mother always scolded him for his poor ability at picking friends. Mischief lead to petty crime which in turn could have gone down a much darker path if it wasn't for the six months Andreas spent living with his Uncle after being caught trying to break into a PokéMart with a local youth gang. It was at this point in time that it became clear to Andreas. He wanted more than to live and die in the same city, all his life doing the same stupid things with the same group of losers who at the bottom of his heart, Andreas knew were going nowhere. Like many at his tender age, he began exploring all the different options relating to Pokémon in his future, daycare work seemed honorable and he took a lot of inspiration from his Uncle. At the same time, there was a desire to be the best, catch every type of Pokémon and become a Pokémon Master. It wasn't until his first Gym battle some time later, where Andreas' first badge was earned that he knew he had found his calling. Andreas was to become a Gym Leader and then to further himself even more a League trainer and maybe even someday, one of the Elite Four.
Kind of Pokémon you like: Andreas likes many type of Pokémon and prefers a balanced approach.
Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other: "It wasn't until his first Gym battle some time later, where Andreas' first badge was earned that he knew he had found his calling. Andreas was to become a Gym Leader and then to further himself even more a League trainer and maybe even someday, one of the Elite Four."
Items: 1x Potion.
Pokédollars: 500p.

Bulbasaur
"Bulba, bulba, Bulbasaur..."

Species: Seed Pokemon ♂
Type: Poison, Grass.
Level: 5
Moves:
*Tackle
*Growl
*
*
Ability: Overgrow - Grass type moves power increased by 50%
Held Item: Oran Berry - Heals a little

Oops.

[Rune_Alchemist]

Sorry Ren, it was inevitable with their proximity and Claire not wanting to move from her spot next to the door xD

[PlatinumSkink]

@SmileyJaws I'm afraid we're not taking applicants. The thing up there. It says "Full", you might have noticed. Do ask BEFORE you post a character.

That said, nnnnnnnnnnnnnnumber of comments. Were you, like, planning to win your first Gym battle ever? Now, ain't that highly presumptuous of you? These Gym Leaders are hardly pushovers, after all. I ASSUME that what you were planning was that he'd get said aspirations when said Gym Battle victory eventually happened, because it can obviously not happen before he got a Pokémon... XD

Also, you got Bulbasaur's ability wrong. It boosts grass-type moves by 50% when Bulbasaur has less than one third of his health left. It's kind of extremely important detail, ya know! XD ... Oh, and they don't start holding anything. You get the Pokémon blank.

And... yeah, we're not accepting. I do not want to be overwhelmed. It is possible that all players decide to go adventuring ENTIRELY SEPARATELY and I'll need to make up NINE different adventures just to keep up with them. I dearly HOPE they'll form groups, but inevitably, they'll have to challenge the Pokémon Gyms as individuals. ... Heck, maybe that's a bad idea. Maybe I should have made gyms, like, need three people to combat? Maybe that would make it fit better as a roleplay rather than as a video-game? Hm. ... Oh, well!

Anyways. Because of that, I don't want more than nine characters. Nine, because then they can form three groups of three, which I can see as the ideal. Now, it's up to them what they actually do, but that's my take. I'm not risking more.

Now, then.

@Delta44 Pretty sure Erika was still beside Claire, which would put her not in the way of traffic, but EH! XD

Very nicely posted. Truly got the comical effect of unintentionally interrupted meditation through. Haha.

@Rune_Alchemist Your reaction to the unknown man amuses me greatly. Such a clash of interests, him and the door, eh? XD ... Well, the door is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, the man will live on (assuming nothing drastic happens). I think that's the right choice. Haha. And of course, let's go push more words on Ren. XD ... Nicely posted. Now, then.

@Lasrever W-was she the type that always got people's names wrong? ... XD ... Well, that works! And your analysis of the unknown guy made me laugh. Haha. Alright. Nicely posted. An actual focused conversation going on here between two people without change of focus or interjecting characters for three posts. What is this sorcery? XD
Though, of course, interjecting characters is nothing bad~

@PlatinumSkink

You could have been a bit less of a d*ck but thanks for letting me know. Good luck with your role-play.

[PlatinumSkink]

@SmileyJaws Eh? How was I a wait-what? I believe I properly explained my reasons for why I am limiting the number of players in the roleplay, and I even pointed out potential errors in your character sheet that would have kept you from being accepted as it currently is had I been accepting...

OK, I suppose the first lines were a little strict, I might be a bit tired after a long day right now, but the rest was intended in good spirit! ... Oh, well...

[SmileyJaws]

It wasn't what you said but how you said it. I think it speaks for your character, good luck with the role play.

[Rune_Alchemist]

@PlatinumSkink
...I have no idea what that guys problem is, but I didn't think any of that explanation sounded bad or was said in a mean way at all, but eh.

Anyways!~

@PlatinumSkink

Yeeep, gotta have my spunky red head bother the quiet introvert. That can't possibly go wrong xD

I hope Claire and Ren travel in the same direction, just so I can have Claire bother her more.

[PlatinumSkink]

@Rune_Alchemist A-actually, uh, I've been continuously rereading it, and, um, after having become self-conscious, I'm finding it rather dripping with unintended, er... I probably could have refrained from several word-choices and actually pointing out the errors in a character-sheet I was never going to approve anyway, it kind of gives off the feeling of that I was criticizing him for no purpose other than my own amusement...

THAT ASIDE.

Yes. That. That is amusing. And, for the later part, we'll see. You can certainly voice your hopes to Delta. Haha.

@PlatinumSkink

Well, Claire's going down route two so she can go to the Infested Woods. She may not have any idea about which pokemon she wants, but she knows the general layout of Isson xD

Which reminds me. Mind if I add an Holo Caster to her list of items? I feel like that would be relevant since she'd probably have one from Kalos.
